When life requires a Uni visit for your child
Like a giant hug, felt like a home away from home when the purpose of the trip was for an emergency for my son, a student at St Andrew's. They were so understanding and accommodating making that part of the trip zero worry.

Not great
Bedroom dreadful. (Rm 5) Shower very weak and Freezing to scalding in a tiny 1mm turn. Room size tiny. Mattress so old and uncomfortable. Furniture scruffy. Floor in bathroom lifting. Desperately needs renovation. Full Breakfast good. Unfortunately the receptionist on arrival seemed miserable and didn’t even say hello welcome us or smile just asked for credit card. Not a great experience for the amount charged.

Enjoyable weekend
Good stay right in the centre of St Andrew's. Quiet boutique hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast both mornings was excellent. Room was comfy albeit a bit small. Some of the furniture looked tired. The TV and WiFi signals were a little hit and miss at times. Overall a good stay and can't fault the staff.

Room had a lovely terrace at the back. Room was very nice but bathroom was not the best, fine for a 3 star though.
